In actual fact, I played it for an hour and thought - meh - it just didn't grab my testicles!
Having said that, as one of this site's older farts, maybe the game needed to reach a bit lower to grab them!!
I guess the real reason though, is that I'm finally outgrowing this kind of entertainment???
And, no, I would not let young kids near it.

Actually, I owe this game an apology.
I had some rare free time at the weekend and was all practiced out, so I decided to give GTA IV one last spin before punting it.
15 minutes later and I'm hooked.
The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is really addictive.
It
is a retread of Liberty City, but I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
